Prowler Wins DefectDojo’s Best Infrastructure Security Tool for Open-Source Cybersecurity
We’re honored to share that Prowler has been named as one of the Best Infrastructure Security Tools in the inaugural DefectDojo Open-Source Security Awards.
This recognition means a lot—not just because of what it says about the work we’ve done, but because of who it’s coming from. Their platform powers DevSecOps workflows for teams around the world, and they know firsthand what makes a security tool both useful and sustainable.
In their words, the awards highlight open-source tools that are “accurate, robust, and low-noise”—qualities that we aim for with every release.
Why this matters
Prowler started as a CLI tool for AWS audits. Today, it’s grown into a multi-cloud security platform that supports AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. We’ve stayed open from the beginning—not just in source code, but in approach. We believe that security tools should be explainable, flexible, and built in the open, because transparency builds trust. And trust is the foundation of security.
This award reflects the reality of more than 11 million downloads across the world who’ve helped make Prowler what it is: a reliable, adaptable, open-source foundation for cloud security. We’re grateful to our community, our users, and the teams who test, file issues, build integrations, and help shape every release.
A few words from Toni
“Security doesn’t belong behind closed doors. We started Prowler to make cloud security open, accessible, and adaptable to real-world complexity. This recognition from DefectDojo is a reflection of the community that’s built around Prowler. We’re proud to be part of the movement shaping the future of open-source cybersecurity.”
— Toni de la Fuente, founder and CEO, Prowler
Security shouldn’t be a black box. With Prowler, we’re aiming for something better: clear, usable, and community-driven cloud security.
We’re thankful to DefectDojo for this recognition—and we’re just getting started.
